Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 04, 2020 8:29 pm Our project builder has quoted a Provisional Sum of $14000 for our septic. The next door neighbour just got a quote for $8500 (similar block to ours). A family friend in the industry also mentioned that we should be able to get one for under $10k. When I queried the sales person, she said that the $10k wouldn’t include labour, approval etc. We are still waiting to see the final contract so before we sign off, I have two questions: a) is $14k as ridiculous? b) I know we need septic for practical completion so if the builder isn’t going to provide septic at a reasonable price, could we have septic installed prior to build with a different supplier? Thank you in advance! This forum is brilliant! Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 17511 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10404 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9559 |
